British agents embedded in the Continental Army wait only for the order to strike. Racing against time, rebel spy Ethan Matlock sets out to protect the one man who can save the Revolution.

Surrounded by twenty thousand redcoats, aware that the slightest misstep could lead to the gallows, Ethan resorts to vicious measures to unravel a conspiracy of power-hungry men. Against his better judgment, he becomes entangled with the provocative Miss Maddie Graves, whose fierce devotion to the American cause ironically threatens his mission.A Readers' Favorite 2017 book award winner.

Download or read book The Storyteller written by Tom Edwards and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2018-12-29 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a series of short stories, most of which have a sting in the tail. Some are based on the true experiences of the author; some have been embellished, and some are purely fictional. The first story, The Entomologist, is true, and the conversation, which is full of malapropisms, actually occurred. Frappin’ the Wurzel, on the other hand, is entirely a figment of the author’s imagination. It depicts George, a bucolic Arcadian in a small English pub, who in an effort to maintain his reputation as the village prankster exploits the very obvious charms of an American tourist—an activity that would probably get him thrown in goal in a more enlightened society. Spider Loves Me and a Near Gaff introduces pathos into the mix, and most of the other stories have an unexpected ending that may intrigue or amuse the reader. The title of this book was inadvertently suggested to me by a charming lady while I was giving a talk to a library group. I had been narrating various yarns of events that had occurred during my lifetime and my audience appeared to enjoy them. During the tea break, the lady approached me remarking, “You are a storyteller!” I placed the wrong connotation on her comment and protested that they were all true. She hurriedly corrected my misunderstanding saying that she enjoyed my tales and that I should set them down in a book; this I have done. Many of the stories have an element of truth, painfully so. However, some are figments of my imagination, and some have been enhanced to give them humor or pathos. Most have a twist in the tale that may surprise or amuse the reader. I do hope you enjoy them.
Download or read book Stayin' Alive written by Jefferson Cowie and published by The New Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An epic account of how middle-class America hit the rocks in the political and economic upheavals of the 1970s, this wide-ranging cultural and political history rewrites the 1970s as the crucial, pivotal era of our time. Jefferson Cowie’s edgy and incisive book—part political intrigue, part labor history, with large doses of American musical, film, and TV lore—makes new sense of the 1970s as a crucial and poorly understood transition from New Deal America (with its large, optimistic middle class) to the widening economic inequalities, poverty, and dampened expectations of the 1980s and into the present. Stayin’ Alive takes us from the factory floors of Ohio, Pittsburgh, and Detroit, to the Washington of Nixon, Ford, and Carter. Cowie also connects politics to culture, showing how the big screen and the jukebox can help us understand how America turned away from the radicalism of the 1960s and toward the patriotic promise of Ronald Reagan. Cowie makes unexpected connections between the secrets of the Nixon White House and the failings of George McGovern campaign; radicalism and the blue-collar backlash; the earthy twang of Merle Haggard’s country music and the falsetto highs of Saturday Night Fever. Like Jeff Perlstein’s acclaimed Nixonland, Stayin’ Alive moves beyond conventional understandings of the period and brilliantly plumbs it for insights into our current way of life.

Ross needs to disappear before some shady characters force him to divulge the secrets of his research. And they’re not the only ones desperate to locate him.
